Olivia Bowen showed off her growing bump in a floral bikini as she shared a sweet clip from her family holiday to Spain with husband Alex and their son Abel.
The Love Island star, 31, who famously met her husband on the reality show, shared the video on Instagram on Monday, writing: 'This... forever.'
She added in the caption that spending time in the sun with her husband, 33, and son, two, was a 'mission complete'.
The star has been giving fans an insight into the family holiday ahead of the birth of her first daughter this summer.
It looks like a truly relaxing trip, with the family appearing to be spending the majority of their time at the beach.

She wrote: 'Another trip to Spain - the last one before baby girl comes, and next we'll return as a family of four to our own villa out here - never felt so lucky.'
Olivia wore a colourful bikini for the beach trip, accessorising with a pair of dark sunglasses while her husband and son wore beige swimming trunks.
In another snap with Alex, Olivia showed off more of her extensive summer wear collection, this time wearing a blue bralet that comfortably sat above her growing bump.
The star kept it cool on the trip too, covering up with a black and white mesh sundress as she cuddled Alex and Abel on a lounger.
Olivia announced that she was expecting in February of this year and has been keeping fans updated with her pregnancy.
Sadly, it has not been smooth sailing for the family as Olivia was expecting twins, but sadly lost one of her babies eight weeks into her pregnancy.
She made the revelation on Loose Women, where she recounted their tragic experience of vanishing twin syndrome.
The couple were told they were having twins just before Christmas, when they attended an early six week scan.
Olivia told the panel: 'We went super early, I'm quite an anxious person anyway. When we turned up, we had our friend in the back of the car because we thought everything would be normal.
'As soon as we sat down I saw two babies and not one, I was floored by that. I have twins in my family and as soon as we found out I was already nervous as we've not had a great history of twins in our family.'
The Love Island star broke down in tears as she revealed: 'One of the babies just basically didn't have a heartbeat but I'd had no symptoms, no pain, no bleeding to tell me that was what we were walking into. We were floored, we were expecting to have these two little babies.'
The star had experienced vanishing twin syndrome, which occurs when one twin passes away in the womb and 'vanishes' and studies suggest happens in roughly 36% of twin pregnancies.
Olivia heartbreakingly revealed that 'the one beautiful part of it' is that the babies do 'absorb back into your body' and that's what the couple have been 'holding onto'.
The reality star continued: 'The baby had completely absorbed into my body at 14 weeks, just completely gone which is tremendously sad knowing they're still in there.
'I am so lucky to have experienced that moment of possibly having twins, it's something that not everyone gets to feel so even having those two little babies at that time.'
Alex then emotionally chimed in with: 'I built this scenario up in my mind, I was thinking of the future.
'I thought it was 100% happening and I had come to terms with it. I never really had a big family, I'm an only child and have no contact with my dad so it was an amazing thing for me.'

Love Island's Ronnie Vint 'moves on with influencer after flirty chats in Ibiza' following his split from Harriett Blackmore

Love Island's Ronnie Vint seems to have moved on from ex-girlfriend Harriett Blackmore already. The reality star, 28, has reportedly been getting to know social media influencer Lauren Watson - who boats 153k followers - after claims they were seen flirting in Ibiza earlier this week. Ronnie and Harriett - who initially met on Love Island - split for a second time on Thurday. Ronnie was at the launch of the Unexpected Hotel on the Spanish island on Tuesday, and he is said to have spent most of it 'flirting with Lauren.' It's thought that the pair already follow each other on social media. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. It's thought that the pair already follow each other on social media - with Lauren reportedly catching his attention during his trip A source told The Sun: 'Ronnie looked really into Lauren, and certainly wasn't spending his time pining over Harriett. 'He's always had an eye for the ladies, so it was no surprise that Lauren caught his attention.' Mail Online has reached out to Ronnie's rep for comment. Ronnie and Harriet have deleted all traces of each other from social media following their shock split. They met on Love Island last summer but struggled to make their relationship work outside of the villa. It wasn't until Harriett surprised Ronnie as a bombshell arrival on All Stars in January that the couple reconnected, hoping to commit to each other for the long term. But after fiery rows in Ibiza, they have called it quits, just months after failing to make the All Stars final. A source told MailOnline: 'It's true that Ronnie and Harriett have ended their romance, they have tried to make it work but the arguments between them made it difficult.' An insider added: 'There has been a lot of love between Ronnie and Harriett, but they have always been a fiery couple and in the end, they struggled to see eye to eye. 'On Wednesday night, they flew back from a trip to Ibiza and decided they are better off not together and right now, they're not even prepared to be friends. 'They have unfollowed each other on Instagram, which isn't the first time, but the feeling is it's over now for good.' Ronnie, who's close friends with former Love Island star Olivia Attwood and her husband Bradley Dack, met dancer Harriett on the ITV2 series last summer. But the pair's romance was short-lived after Ronnie strayed, leaving Harriett devastated.
